Abstract
An investigation and/or manipulation tool for a sample which is locally deformed when subjected to a local heat treatment includes a power supply for heating a tip of the tool wherein the tool has a structure such that the power supplied to the tip heats substantially only the tip of the tool and includes a region of relatively high heat conductivity that provides fast cooling of the tip when power is not supplied to the tip.
